absorptive heterotrophs, and have chitin in their cell walls.
Mode by which fungi absorb energy and nutrients
mutualism with a plant partner
parasite on an animal
predatory on an animal

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
Chytrid fungi
Zygospore fungi (zygomycota)
Microsporidia
members are minute, intracellular parasites.
Chytrids
only fungi with flagellated cells in their life cycle
Zygospore fungi
have only one diploid cell in their entire life cycle
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
appear to reproduce be asexual means only
Sac fungi
- group containing the largest number of species
- produce sexual spores internally in sacs called asci
Club fungi
produce sexual spores externally on structures called basidia
Are the hyphae of Rhizopus (black bread mold) septate or coenocytic?

What is unique with regard to the cnidarians?
Contain special cells called cnidocytes which contain stinging cells called nematocysts
What are the two layers found in the membrane of the Cnidaria?
Epidermis
Gastrodermis
What is the name of the jelly-like layer that seperates the two layers of Cnidaria?
Mesoglea
Choanocytes
line water channels and function to filter small food particles from the water.
Amoebocytes
secrete a skeleton consisting of spicules and/or organic fibers
Scypha/Grantia is classified as a calcareous sponge, therefore it’s spicules are made of …
Calcium carbonate
